This helps them follow you as you develop the topic

Focus on your audience: - Focus on your audience to be more concise. Speak according to the audience as if your audience is children then speak according to that do not use difficult words with children or if your audience is business people then speak in different way.  

Speak slowly: -  Another way to speak concisely is to speak slowly.You may feel that if you rush and say everything you wanted to say, that you'll be able to get it over with and make people see your point more clearly. However, if you take the time to slow down, think about what you have to say, and pronounce your words in a way that won't make you mumble or confuse your audiences, then you will actually be more well-spoken.
